Notes

His pension was to be raised from £2 to £4 a year in view of his age and poverty, and as the court was satisfied ‘of his adherence to the late King Charles the first and his being engaged in his Service in the late Civill Warrs' and that Eston was still ‘destitute of any settled habitac[i]on and by reason of his age being very infirme and unable to make any provision for himself.', the Treasurer was ordered to pay Mr Eston 2 s. 6 d. ‘which he layd out for the Copie of this Order.’
Stafford Morgan of Shalston and Thomas Gibson of Great Kimbell, gents., appointed treasurers for maimed soldiers.
‘The Court “taking into consideration some late miscarriages in the money raysed in this County for the Kings Bench and Marshalsea and Meighmed Souldiers and some misapplications thereof”, orders that in future each of the treasurers shall “at the County Charge provide a Book, consisting of two Quire of good Dutch paper handsomely bound and ruled for the entring of his respective Account”.’
